Are 245/40/18's too wide for the 18x8s at the limits?
The 245/40/18 tires would be quite wide for an 8" width wheel, and depending on your tire's make and model, may cause the sidewalls to bubble out a bit, leading to the steering to feel a bit sloppy. We'd recommend the 245 on at least an 8.5" width wheel, and a 235 on the 8" wheel instead.
